Brockway Glass Company Clown Salt & Pepper Shakers
The Brockway Glass Company began life as the Brockway Machine Bottle Company in 1907 in Brockway, Pennsylvania. In 1964, Brockway bought several Hazel-Atlas factories from Continental Glass as part the settlement of a lawsuit, greatly expanding its manufacture of bottles and product containers. In 1988 the factory was sold to Owens-Illinois and the name changed once again to Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc.
